I'm 100% certain that Chinese models are not long for this market. Whether or not they are free is irrelevant. I just can't see the US government allowing us access to those technologies long term.

How many people do you think will ever use “bring your own model” approach? Those numbers are so statistically insignificant that nobody will bother when it comes to making money. I’m sure we will hack our way through it, but if it’s not available to general public, those Chinese companies won’t see much market share in the west.
